Yesterday we tootled around Missouri. We visited the RLDS (now Community of Christ "Temple" and the neighboring church visitor's center where they had a Dead Sea Scroll Exhibit that ends today. It was pretty cool. They also had some water pots and oil lamps (I was surprised how small the lamp were) from the time period.
After that we revisited Liberty Jail. Since it was just us adults, we had a wonderful discussion with the young sister Missionary who gave us the tour. At the end of the tour, we stopped to enjoy the Nativity display there at the visitors center. Local members donated their Nativities from around the world. There were probably about 50 different sets and works. Ten of them were from the "Skembos Liberty Stake." Consie has collected them for years.
Before we did any of that we stopped at Sam's to restock their candy at the Far West Country Store. They made me ride the fat lady scooter cart. I really do need to take it easy because these babies have to stay in there for two more months. This month has gone by fairly quickly, though.
Today is our last day here. Tomorrow we leave after Sacrament Meeting so we can get the kids back and get back to work. Mike has three job interviews lined up for the coming week already. We'll see.

that sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation!
We are going about 180 mph at my mom's. She has projects all year round, and because there are more children at home than normal for the holiday she is trying to get 5 times the projects done in the amount of time normally given to watching football.
I'm glad you were forced to take it easy. :P You superwomen types are so prone to working way too hard!
Glad you had a nice time. That is good you are trying to slow down. I hope for the best for you guys.
It was a very nice vacation. We really didn't do anything that took too much effort.
If you have anyone who wonders about the differences between the LDS Church, and other denominations, just take them to the Community of Christ "Temple" and then take them to Liberty Jail. The spirit only exists in one of the two.
